We need to find the 8 th term nth term is given as <span><span>an</span>=<span>a1</span>+(n−1)d</span>
n=8, d =-4 (common difference) <span><span>a8</span>=<span>a1</span>+(8−1)×d</span>
<span><span>a8</span>=1+7×(−4<span>)</span></span>
Answer: 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Remove the parenthesis
16 - 17
= -11
The major axis of the eclipse is 12 units long
The given parameters can be represented as:


See attachment for illustration
To solve this question, we make use of the following theorem
The distance between a point and the foci sums up to the major axis
This translates to:



Diameter D of the trampoline = 17 feet
The circumference C, of the trampoline is calculated by the formula:

Put D = 17 feet, π=3.14

The cirucmference o
Alright so after solving it the answer would be x=2 and y= 6
